Getting the Pastor's Heart
Dr. Harold L. Bare, Sr. has served Covenant Church as Pastor since 1981, and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia. He has authored several books, including “They Call Me Pentecostal,” “Hell is War,” and numerous articles.
Drawing on his experience as a social worker/counselor, college lecturer, pastor, and North Carolina native, he writes the weekly Pastor's Heart. It's full of stories, insights, and challenging thoughts that will encourage you to live the Christ-life. Included in the print and PDF versions are announcements that keep you connected to the life and events of Covenant Church.
